Art is Motion Buford is a wonderful studio for beginners or professionals alike…read more Sarah/Jessica/Sasha have done a immaculate job of teaching the beginner social dance course. It's a fun yet, relaxed educational environment, where they take their time to introduce the basics and focus on individual and group growth. My experience has been absolutely marvelous; the entire beginner class has decided to continue our lessons here! I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for exercise, getting out of the house, looking for a new hobby, or wanting to make lifelong friendships!!! Thank you Art is Motion Buford!

As a former professional dancer, instructor and studio owner I would like to commend Janeen and her…read morestaff on a job well done. I think the studio is well run and welcoming. The teachers are well trained and very personable and nice. I'd also like to comment about the last review. The recital was not at all tacky, it was very nice, especially for the money charged to put it on. Each dancer received two-three free tickets and any additional tickets were only five dollars. And have you ever tried to teach a 3 YO a 2.5 minute dance? Of course the teacher had to lead the kids on stage. Did this parent expect their child to be ready for the New York City Ballet? I've spent a significant amount of time there and would be extremely surprised if anyone was treated without kindness and respect. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone wanting to take dance or performing arts classes in a professional yet welcoming and nurturing environment.

Lovely waiting area, nice teacher, but the owner and their business practices are sub par. Very…read moreunprofessional and unapologetic when concerns were expressed. My 3 year old had fun, but she did not realize that her class was consistently starting late and ending early, their recital, which started 15 minutes late, was so tacky we were embarrassed to have invited our family and friends, and they essentially played follow the leader with their teacher for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. They took measurements and photos during class time that we paid for, which is a conflict of interests at best and a disservice to my child who came ready to dance and ended up sitting by the wall for an hour, only to find that the pictures were of such poor quality that we will how have to take our own time and additional money to have them re-made. When you go into dance with your child, you have to expect that it will be expensive, but this place is a money pit and you definitely do not get what you pay for.

The teachers are loving and very caring for my daughter and all the students all around! Their constructive criticisms have given growth to multiple students and has helped my daughter grow as well.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to warn others about this studio. There is extreme…read morefavoritism and cliquiness here. I'm not talking about getting overlooked or disregarded, even though that does happen, but I am mentioning the appalling way that the teachers praise their favorite students and only criticize the other students. I can understand criticizing for the purpose of helping a student grow, but telling someone their turns look like sh*t and kicking them out of a dance because they missed ONE rehearsal is unacceptable. When I left, they seemed to learn their lesson that it is unrealistic to expect a child to not miss a single rehearsal, so they allowed up to two missed rehearsals. Still, I missed one rehearsal and was again excluded from the production dance that everyone was involved in. Had this been one of their favorite students, I do not believe it would have been the same case as many of them had missed rehearsals and yet I was the one getting kicked out. On top of that, the auditioning process for performances such as The Nutcracker are completely unfair as roles on pointe have been given to girls a year in opposed to others that were clearly more advanced. I have even seen a girl cry and runoff during her audition because she didn't know the choreography and yet she still got casted for a main role. Additionally, I have been gossiped about by the students and told by one of them that they weren't sure if anyone would care if I killed myself. Yes, I was extremely depressed at this time because of the toxic environment I was in and no one comforted me. I would run out of the room crying from PTSD and yet no one batted an eye despite my panic attacks being extremely obvious. Currently, I now struggle from gastroparesis due to having gone to the studio and not being allowed to eat, despite actively losing weight unintentionally. When I did stop to eat for just 10 minutes, the teachers would be highly annoyed, and yet, I was not allowed to receive a second solo as a senior which every senior does due to my weight. It was as if no one had realized that I was trying to eat during the 5 hours I was there every night in order to maintain a healthy weight. When I did naturally lose weight, one of my costumes passed down was not altered for me, even though it had been altered for every girl before me. I have also seen horrible treatment to others as one girl was kicked off of the team because she had told her friends that she was going to a different studio the next year. This meant she wasn't a "team player" and she was bringing in negative energy simply because she told her friends in the middle of the season that she wouldn't be there next year. False rumors were then spread that she was saying bad things about the studio online. Keep in mind she was around the age of 10 and she did not deserve to be treated like this by adults acting like teenagers. Lastly, a teacher had been fired due to not being able to attend every single competition. There's always this idea of you have to give your life to this studio or your out mentality. Said teacher was engaged and working multiple jobs yet they had no grace for him and he was unfortunately one of the only good teachers there. I refer to this place as the cult because they do not deserve the title of a dance studio. This is an extremely toxic place and I have heard owners of other dance studios agree with this claim. When you are in the dance world, word spreads like fire and it should be known that this place is a living hell.

Not only did she not report back, but the girl who made the threat called me. She told me that my daughter was not the student she was aiming the threat at, that she and student it was meant for just had that "kind of relationship", and NEXT TIME she'd be sure it was said where my daughter couldn't hear it. Mind you, my daughter is 10 years old, and came home legitimately scared. Weeks later and I'm still losing sleep thinking about these poor babies being spoken to this way, and wondering if the mom of this other little girl knows how her daughter is being treated.
